About This Place

Nestled in Cincinnati’s bustling Medpace Way corridor, Element Eatery offers a delightful fusion of food court variety with the welcoming ambiance of a family restaurant. This vibrant culinary hub is more than just a dining spot; it’s a mosaic of flavors and experiences that caters to all tastes, whether you’re craving comforting classics or adventurous bites.

Step inside and you’ll instantly appreciate the thoughtfully designed, modern yet cozy atmosphere—a balance that few food courts manage to achieve. The spacious seating areas, though at times noted for comfort improvements, provide a perfect setting whether you’re gathering with family, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a solo meal.

The magic of Element Eatery lies in its diverse menu, spanning comforting homestyle dishes and international flavors. Signature items like the creamy, indulgent Mac and Cheese with Chicken or the zesty, layered flavors of the Mexican BLT and Barbacoa Tacos from Taco Oso bring flair and satisfaction to every bite. Fans of Italian-American classics will relish the hearty Italian Beef and the crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, while those seeking global inspirations can indulge in the intricate, perfectly balanced Create Your Own Ramen, with its rich chicken broth, spiced seaweed shrimp, and soft-boiled egg, or the savory Tonkotsu Ramen.

Element Eatery doesn’t stop at food—the beverage menu is equally thoughtful. From expertly crafted hot coffees such as smooth Macchiatos and robust Espressos to refreshing cold brews that minimize acidity while boosting caffeine, every sip complements your meal. Tea lovers will appreciate the curated selection of Rishi Hot Teas, while those in search of a spirited finish can explore house specialties like the sweet-tart Blackberry Peach Martini.

What elevates the experience is the approachable, knowledgeable staff highlighted by visitors like Tod Bowen, who praised the friendly bartenders and excellent beer selection. Though some patrons have mentioned the price point for craft beers and the bustling crowd during peak hours, the diversity of food stalls—nine distinct culinary concepts under one roof—ensures there’s always something exciting to try, making it far superior to your average food court.

Whether you come for a quick bite, a casual meal with friends, or to explore a variety of authentic tastes—from grilled gyros to the comforting warmth of brussels sprouts and wings—Element Eatery invites you on a flavorful journey steeped in quality and community spirit. Its unique fusion of elevated food court style and family-friendly hospitality makes it a must-visit destination in Cincinnati’s dining scene.

For those who love flexibility, ordering is streamlined via QR codes at every table, allowing diners to select their favorites and receive notifications when it’s time to pick them up—effortless and modern service in a comfortable setting.

    We stopped in for a drink and really enjoyed the vibe. The place is beautiful, the beer selection was excellent, and the bartender was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

    Staying in the Mariemont area for a month and read good reviews of Element. So a friend who was visiting and I went on a Saturday night in February. There is plenty of outdoor seating, but alas it was too cold. We went at 700pm and it was very busy. But it didn't feel overly crowded. 9 different options for food. Think food court except way better. We both got different food. I went to Zaria which is basically like a more expensive version of Canes or Joellas Hot Chicken and my friend got BBQ from 4 Mile Pig. Our food was really fresh and flavorful, but not necessarily the best ever. But still very good and worth coming back to for sure. There was live music and TVs around the bar. There were a lot of families and groups there. The atmosphere was nice. There was a good, relaxed vibe even with the amount of people there. We would definitely come back. Parking wasn't an issue on the weekend evening. We never felt rushed like we potentially could feel at a sit down restaurant. Overall a big thumbs up. Looking forward to trying some different food next time.

    I had the ramen at Pacific Bowls, and it was actually fantastic, though pretty expensive - $17 for a fairly small (as ramen goes) bowl. Every table has a QR code you can use to order from and pay for any offering inside, but you'll need to go pick it up yourself (they'll send you a text). They do keep the place clean, and there's a ton of seating, though most of it is pretty uncomfortable. There are also TVs posted up around the place, where they had a Bengals game playing - and even some of the menus switched to the game at certain points, which was pretty neat. This place also serves as the local meetup place for the Queen City Riichi mahjong club, which is why I'm here at the moment. If you have an interest in that, or a similar meetup that would use the tables, you may be able to arrange that with the staff.

    This is a great spot with a variety of excellent food options. I had a meal at Sea Cuisine, and both the portions and the quality were fantastic. However, I wouldn’t recommend coming here for drinks. $5.50 for a draft Bud Light is steep, and the craft beers can run up to $4 more than that. As someone who travels frequently and enjoys craft beer, I found the pricing to be unreasonably high. They really need to adjust their drink prices to stay competitive.

    What a fun food court! Modern yet cozy (which is a tough combo to achieve). Variety of food for any picky eater. We had to grab it to go as the place was closing early due to a snow storm. Next time, eat it there. Was soggy by the time we got home. Burgernatti was decent for a food court price but imho, needed better meat to bun ratio. All in all would try the place again and eat something else.

    Nice environment went to the burger spot there just very overpriced for one burger no fries no chips not even a drink…. Or something on the side. Burger was okay I asked if they could add a topping onto the burger one of the toppings that was mentioned on another burger but they declined…. I didn’t asked for it to be added for not an additional price but hey….. Other than that it was okay…. I’ll go back to the Eatery and just try and different restaurant this time.

    We've been meaning to visit here for a bit now. We were in the area recently and finally took the opportunity to stop in. I viewed the location as an elevated food court. Instead of hastily prepared, unhealthy food, you got fresh, high-quality ingredients and great presentation. We ended up dining at three different spots and grabbed a few drinks from the bar. The staff at each restaurant was very courteous and answered the questions we had about the menu. Food came out quickly and prepared to order. We'll definitely be back!!!

    Decent place pretty empty. Mostly full of campus people. Parking is limited but not too bad within walking distance. Multiple places to eat inside.
